Monitoring your data migrations

  1. Choose the target database on the Databases page in the RDS console.

  2. In the database details page, choose the Data migrations tab.

  3. The Associated data migrations section lists your data migrations. Check the Status column.

  4. For running data migrations, the Migration process column displays the percentage of migrated data.

  5. To monitor the process in CloudWatch, use the link in the in CloudWatch column.
